Routledge, 20/06/2005 - 192 páginas

Illustrated with over fifty photos, Civilizing Rituals merges contemporary debates with lively discussion and explores central issues involved in the making and displaying of art as industry and how it is presented to the community.

Civilizing Rituals is ideal reading for students of art history and museum studies, and professionals in the field will also find much of interest here.
